the Joe Dart sterling has a white pickup so they must exist, or they will begin to exist by November hopefully.

I'm sure they exist but ebmm does t sell them. I damaged my original pup by painting it white then I tried to remove the paint and it looked like poopie so I called mm and asked them for a white sterling pup and they said that ebmm doesn't sell white pups for a sterling. My pup has the phantom coil.

Be sure to show us the end results. If it turns out nice, I'll try and do mine as well.

i e watched a few videos and it actually looks pretty easy. The nice thing about wrapping it is that I can take it off late if I decide to change the bass up later. Also I bought a sheet of vinyl wrap from amazon for like $10. I e also got a sterling classic that I'm gonna wrap the pup in white.

View attachment 5488338I painted and hydro dipped my ebmm sterling. I'd like a white pup cover but music man doesn't offer them. I know this b/c I damaged the existing pup and had to have it replaced and I asked cs then if then had white. Any ideas?

Well, the Joe dart basses have white pickups, so...yes they do. They're lying to you. Bold faced lying.

Most pickup manufacturers make MM pickups. Some also have white as a color option.

Just take your time and use a sharp exacto knife or razor to go around the poll pieces.

The SR5 pickup is glued together. MM doesnt sell the cover the for that.

The StingRay 4 pickup is not glued together, and is why covers were easy to get.

The US Sterling had forevever been based on the same electronics as the SR5, so I imagine they're also glued shut, but I never took any of my Sterlings apart to notice, but am assuming that since the cover is not sold separately.
The Dart not having the coil switch options nor active circut doesnt automatically mean parts are interchangeable with a regular Sterling.

Oh, okay. Well, there are other manufacturers that offer them. Although, the tone would change
